Collection day

At last the 6 month wait is over, and I finally get to pick it up in 3 hours to say I'm excited is an understatement. :laugh: :laugh:

Great new enjoy...

When did you get confirmation your car was in the UK? I'm trying to gauge when mine will arrive at the dealers.

Make sure excitement doesn't get the better of you and check the car over thoroughly. Check all options (if any) you selected have been fitted. Ensure bodywork is in pristine condition (mine had a small scratch on the wing that needed sorting), then all the usual's like tyre pressures, locking wheel bolt, Sat Nav SD card etc.

It's very easy to get overwhelmed when you have been waiting for so long (I know, I've been there), so just take your time and check it over carefully.

I will do and I want to see the likes of the hubs if they have started to rust already as it's been built and sat for a few months, thanks for the advice though.
